AL FATEHA
(The victory of decoding)
The physical world we perceive is a projection, a reflection of reality seen from an external, surface-level standpoint. What we sense and process mentally doesn’t necessarily represent the true nature of things. In the Qur’an, the sensory data of the physical world contains the ayaati Allah, the signs of Allah. These signs are not the reality itself but indicators pointing toward a deeper, underlying truth.
According to Qur'an 3:7, these signs fall into two categories: muhkamat and mutashabihat. Muhkamat are the decisive, immutable laws woven into the structure of reality, natural laws you are bound by, firm and unchanging. Mutashabihat, on the other hand, are symbols, patterns, and values that resemble truth but are not truth in themselves. They are reflections, clues that require interpretation. Together, these two types of signs form a layered message addressed to the agitated, restless mind (an-nas) through the inner voice, the rasul, the divine messenger within.
This message must be decoded. It’s not automatic. Allah grants the ability to decode it to those who sincerely seek truth. This decoding happens through Ar-Rahman, Allah’s abstract, ever-present system of education. When the message is understood, it aligns with Al-Kitab, the living script of truth embedded within your being. This truth is revealed from your Rabb, your Nurturer, not for mere belief, but to be realized and practiced as direct, lived experience—from the first-person perspective.
The above explanation is derived from an analysis of the following verses of the Quran.
With the name of Allah, the Rahmaan, the Raheem. No-thing bears resemblance to His likeness, whose name embraces the essence and proportions of all that exists, known and unknown to His servants, and the unfolding sequence of events leading to all observable outcomes. Ar-Rahmaan signifies the boundless system of educating through which factual knowledge is imparted, while Ar-Raheem reflects the subtle grace extended to those who sincerely seek, and live by this wisdom flowing from Ar-Rahmaan.
2.76 And when they laqu / measure (to assess) those who aamanu / take security (in Allah), they say, "aamanna / we take security (in Allah)", and when khola / emptiness (of imaan), meet one another, they say, "Atu haddisu / do they perceive the representation with what Allah has fataha / decoded the meaning (of the ayaati) upon you, that they may dispute with you about it, in the nearnest of your Rabb / Lord?" Will you then not ta'qilun / comprehend (use your pure logical mind) ?
2:89 And when there came to them, kitabun / an inherent script from the nearness of Allah confirming what is from before that yastaftihuna / will bring victory as a decoded message against those kafaru / who reject (ayaati of Allah), then when there came to them that which they had recognised, they kafaru / reject with it. So let the laknatu / curse (no inspiration, no development and no evolution) of Allah be on the kafirin / rejecters.
6.59 And with Him are mafaatihu / decoding keys of the ghaibi / knowledge of the hidden, none know them except He. And He knows what is in the birri / truthfulness (of the hidden knowledge) and in the bahri / ocean of knowledge; and not a fall from waraqatin / a cover (that hide the truth) except He knows of it; nor habbatin / an affection in zulumat / darkness (absence of knowledge) of the ardh / lower consciousness; nor rotbin / fresh knowledge or yabisin / dry (non substantial) knowledge; except in a clear kitabin / inherent script.
12.65 So when they fatahu / decode / unlock their possession (what they benefited out of it), they found their bida'ata / pieces of information (that does not present the truth) had been returned to them, and they said: “O our abaa / independent logical mind, what more can we seek, these are our bida'atu / pieces of information returned to us, so we can get more for our ahle / those acquainted, and be preservers over our brother (other thoughts), and increase a measure of kaila / source of intelligence to ba'irin / to reject the wrongful deed. That is truly an easy kailun / source of intelligence!”
14.15 And istaftahu / they requested victory (for the success of their decoding for the true meaning of the ayaati) from Allah, and disappointed of each obstinate (stubborn) recovery (from failure).38.50 Jannatin / hidden garden of delightful knowledge, for them the doorways of adnin mufattahah / the one who received the decoded meaning of ayaati (from Allah), perpetually.
39.71 And those who kafaru / rejected (Al Kitab) will be driven to jahannam / state of stagnation, zumaran / a group one after another. Until when they reach it, and its gates are futihat / opened, and its khazanatu / treasure of knowledge say to them: “Did you not receive rusulun / inner voices (that deliver the message) from among you who recited to you the ayaati / signs of your Rabb / Lord, and warned you about your meeting this moment?” They said: “Yes, but it has been justified word of punishment has come to pass upon the kafirin / rejecters.”
39.73 And those who are mindful of their Rabb / Lord will be driven to jannati / hidden garden of knowledge, zumaran / a group one after another. Until when they reach it, and its gates are futihat / opened (decoded the true meaning of ayaati), its khazanatu / treasure of knowledge will say to them: “Salamun / peace be upon you. You have done well, so enter to abide herein.”48.1 Indeed, fatahna / We have decoded for you a clear fathan / decoded message (from the ayaati in the lower consciousness).
48.2 That Allah may forgive your present sins, and those past, and so that He may complete His nikmatahu / blessings (with pleasant thoughts) upon you, and guide you on a straight path.
48.27 Surely Allah has sadaqa / given genuine empirical facts to His rasul / inner voices (that deliver the message) visions, bil haqqi / with truth: “You will enter the masjidil al haraam / the prohibitions in state of the submission, Allah willing, secure, with your heads shaven (a metaphor for the remove of baseless and false understanding that you are holding on) and muqassirin / those who did not complete (the understanding), having no fear.” Thus, He knew what you did not know, and He has made from besides that, fathan qariban / a near victory to receiving the decoded message.
57.10 And what is to you (that) you do not tunfiqu / self-experience (the reform by putting the knowledge into practice), in the sabil / cause of Allah and to Allah belongs the mirathu / heritage of the samaawaat / higher consciousness and the ardh / lower consciousness? Not equal from among you whoever anfaqa / self-experienced (the reform), from before the fathi / victory of decoding (the signs) and qaatala / killed (the soul). Those are greater in degree from those who anfaqu / self experience from before (the victory of decoding) and qaatalu / kiiled (the soul). And to all, Allah has promised the best (reward). And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted.
61.13 And also tuhibbunaha / you will receive what you love: nashrun / a triumph from Allah and fathun / a victory for receiving the decoded message that is qaribun / close at hand. And basshiri / pleasant thoughts to the mukminin / those who take security (in Al Kitab).
110.1 When anashrullah / help of Allah and the victory (unlocking what is locked and decoding what is coded) comes.
